Almost home!
7 October 2020
Mike and Cavatina are getting VERY close to home! As of 11am Wednesday 7 October, they were just passing Port Jackson. Cavatina has very little diesel left so it is only being used when necessary. Looks like Mike will make it home tonight! Here is his latest blog post, from his 11am tracker update:
"1100hrs and I round Cape Colville, the last turning point of my voyage and now it’s a straight leg to Matiatia, my home port and mooring on Waiheke Island. Straight would be very nice but its blowing right from where I want to go so it’s going to be a series of long tacks to get there. But I can see the hills of home on the horizon. I can almost smell the coffee and freshly baked bread from here. And the vegetables - well not quite yet - that will be more of a taste experience. I hear the asparagus are pushing up from under their mulch and the new potatoes are ready. I can’t wait to get there and see my family and friends. To talk to someone other than myself and my boat. There will be no going all Bernard Moitissier for me…"
Way to go, Mike - you're almost there! To read Mike's history of blog posts, be sure to see the tracker page here:
